Hi,
I posted about this issue a little while back with no resolution. I have a little more data so I thought I'd try my luck again. There's an OS X text-expansion application I use a lot called TypeIt4Me. I can define a bunch of keyboard abbreviations and this application expands them as I type e.g. if I actually type
y c enh prody w t4
then that expands on the fly into
you can enhance productivity with TypeIt4Me
Now obviously many of these abbreviations would be deadly if they were expanded in applications like Terminal and so TypeIt4Me has preferences to ignore user-specified applications. In Tiger I could ignore X11, but in Leopard I cannot and the results are pretty catastrophic sometimes when I forget to manually turn off TypeIt4Me before using X11.
I have instructed TypeIt4Me to ignore both /Applications/Utilities/X11.app and /usr/X11/X11.app however TypeIt4Me keeps working in X11. The part I forgot to mention in my previous posting was that TypeIt4Me requires the Universal Access system preferences to have 'Enable access for assistive devices" checked. My guess is that Tiger's X11 was mindful of the Universal Access system preferences and Leopard's X11 is not, but I really don't have a clue.
Any advice on how to help me?
Thanks,
Mick
